Abstract

The Betrayal of Our War Victims
Warner, Arthur | March 5, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

The film of oil which covers the national political waters should not be allowed to obscure one especially dark and filthy pool. The puddle in question is the treatment of the sick and disabled exercise men of the World War. There has been an almost continuous stench from this source since the armistice, culminating in the investigation of the Veterans' Bureau last year by a select committee of the U.S. Senate. A report just issued by this committee, along with two volumes of testimony, mirrors an even more disgraceful and sordid condition of affairs, than was suggested by the newspaper accounts at the time of the public hearings last autumn or the still earlier revelations by Samuel Danziger.
